After making a splash the day before the draft by acquiring young forward Alex Newhook from the Colorado Avalanche, the Canadiens caused a shockwave by selecting Austrian defenseman David Reinbacher with their 5th overall pick.
This choice received severe criticism from the team's fans, who were mostly hoping to see Matvei Michkov join the club.
A few days have passed since the selection, and now it's time to believe in the evaluation work done on Reinbacher by the Canadiens. He has a very promising future and will likely be an important piece of the team's success in the years to come.
In fact, the 18-year-old defenseman visited the Canadiens' facilities last Friday, just before the start of the organization's development camp yesterday.
The club recently made an interesting post about it, sharing images of the newest gem of the franchise arriving in Brossard. It's truly exciting to finally see the young man in action, wearing the Canadiens jersey.
Here is the Canadiens' official post about David Reinbacher:
